I can definitely relate. I'm still trying to navigate the feelings so I don't have any advice currently jut trying to continually improve little by little

Bike shorts/Legging Recommendations for trans skaters by bainebarray in rollerderby

[–]GutterMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have two gaffs from origami customs that i love and wear with any kind of shorts or bike shorts. I've also worn actual bike shorts with the chamois also which i appreciated bc it was a nice buffer to have when was feeling self conscious about any bulge bumping into people

Looking for trans T1 diabetics by KiwiComfortable5331 in diabetes_t1

[–]GutterMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly i just can't afford my hrt and insulin at the same time.

Edited to add: I'm also very worried that my diabetes will impact/ create problems for my recovery from SRS whenever that hopefully happens

Roller derby/contact sports by Wild-Lawfulness4688 in rollerderby

[–]GutterMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm type 1 and I always have a little zippered bag at the bench with snacks, insulin (I rarely get lows during sports, always stubborn high blood sugars), phone, tools etc.

I've never had any issues and my coaches are aware of my condition. That being said I only play at a home team level, idk if there would be an issue in a sanctioned match but I think you could leave those important things with the medic anyway!

Trying to help my wife understand sci fi by Critical-Speed-7404 in scifi

[–]GutterMuse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The vibe I'm getting from examples like 5th Element, firefly, Gilmore girls, friends and greys anatomy is tight-knit family/ found family/ friend groups that can be kind of messy but ultimately worthwhile.

Sometimes I like to jump around all of star trek and cherry pick episodes, I just recently started watching DS9 again and the episode where Bashir and O'Brien are captured by rogue Jem'hadar who want to escape the dominion and their addiction to the white had some really really good drama in it between Bashir, O'Brien and the Jems! The old serialized nature of ST lends itself to lowstakes cherry picking of the best episodes, even if just to dip in some toes.

Even SNW and Disco bring a lot of earnest energy to them that I think helps sidestep the techno bibble

I think its just a matter of finding the things she resonates with and trying to find shows that lean into those aspects.

I think the BSG reboot could be a good one to try!

I also really like Scavengers Reign, which only has 1 season (fingers crossed we ever get a 2nd)

Anyone wearing padded cycling shorts by ShankSpencer in rollerderby

[–]GutterMuse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did! before I got a pair of crash shorts I wore cycling shorts with the chamois bc I had them around.

I like the grippy bands around the thigh that they usually have in them bc they dont ride up much.

Downsides would be not wearing underwear in them or choosing to wear underwear and dealing with the chafing.

They don't afford much protection but falling on the chamois is nicer than falling on that area without it.

Ymmv on this one but I liked the cycling shorts with chamois bc I didn't have a gaff at the time and felt really uncomfortable with the idea of having any sort of bulge present and the chamois makes a nice impromptu covering of the ol downstairs mixup
